You are lucky to be so ignorant about the shadows that huddle in the corner. You should be happy that you don't know about them, that they lie there unnoticed. But for how long will they stay unnoticed? How long will they allow themselves to be ignored?

As a sportswriter, Frank Bascombe makes his living studying people--men, mostly--who live entirely within themselves. This is a condition that Frank himself aspires to. But at thirty-eight, he suffers from incurable dreaminess, occasional pounding of the heart, and the not-too-distant losses of a career, a son, and a marriage. In the course of the Easter week in which Ford's moving novel transpires, Bascombe will end up losing the remnants of his familiar life, though with his spirits soaring.
Richard Ford (born February 16, 1944) is an American novelist and short story writer. His best-known works are the novel The Sportswriter and its sequels, Independence Day, The Lay of the Land and Let Me Be Frank with You as well as the short story collection Rock Springs, which contains several widely anthologized stories.

A small clique using the National Flag to hide its impotency
August 25, 2016 by lanka666 Leave a Comment
The personnel of the security forces who had acted legally would not be affected by the Office of the Missing Person's Bill and a very small group that needs to hide its inability and knavishness is trying to hide behind the national flag and flags of security forces says JVP Parliamentarian Bimal Rathnayake.
His party defended the Motherland with lives of its members and in the future too the JVP would protect the country from those who try to partition the country and from thieves added the JVP Parliamentarian.
Mr. Rathnayake said this participating in a TV debate.

CSN OB vehicle to Rupavahini
Kaduwela Magistrate Dammika Heemapala has ordered FCID to temporarily hand over the 'Outside Broadcast' (OB) vehicle that was seized from Carlton Sports Network (CSN) to Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC).
FCID informed Kaduwela Magistrate today (25th) that the OB vehicle that costs Rs.93 million could be handed over to SLRC as CSN or any other person has not been able to establish its ownership. Accordingly, the Magistrate has given permission to hand over the vehicle to SLRC until its ownership is established.
The FCID arrested Yoshitha Rajapaksa and the directors of CSN Nishantha Ranatunga, Rohan Weliwita, Ashan Ravinath Fernando and Kavishan Dissanayaka on 30th January on several charges of fraud and over misuse of state property. However, they have been released on bail.
Leash SAITM fancy thugs immediately – NBF
National Bhikku Front (NBF) has issued a statement condemning the attack on students of Sabaragamuwa students at a meeting held by parents and well-wisher s of SAITM private medical school at Malabe. When members of the audience wanted to ask questions from the speakers a tense situation developed and students complain they were attacked by a group lead by the chairman of Private Bus owner s' Association Gemunu Wijeratna. Several students were injured and had to be hospitalized.
The statement issued by NBF:
We condemn with abhorrence the attack on student activists of Sabaragamuwa University at a meeting of SAITM fanatics held at Rathnapura yesterday. As the National Bhikku Front we hope that the student activists who are being treated in hospital would be well soon. As SAITM is an institution that is opposed by the people the fraudsters who maintain it have become agitated. Our belief is that yesterday's incident was a reflection of this agitation.
According to statements of the injured students and information published in media it seems that a person known as 'Bus Gemunu' had taken the initiative to attack the students. If it is so we consider that chairpersons of bus companies acting as thugs should be a matter that should be taken into consideration. We express our opposition to the authorities who are mum as they are subdued by traders who sell education as they act as nitwits who do not comprehend the real meaning of the opposition to SAITM that has surfaced throughout the country. The President too once made a statement that he wouldn't want to create doctors like making 'koththu' but is silent today. We would like to ask whether the action to close down Malabe 'koththu' boutique is not taken because the President, as told by the Tibet Bhikku, has been subjected to the 'bribery sicknesses.
We would extend our fullest cooperation to all opposition campaigns that develop against SAITM until SAITM degree shop is closed down and the right for free education is affirmed and we call upon education authorities and the rulers of the country to close down SAITM degree shop.
Maithri named in Australian bribery scandal
Fairfax Media investigation in Australia states it has uncovered that emails of Snowy Mountains Engineering Company (SMEC) reveal President Maithripala Sirisena and his adviser had allegedly demanded a political "donation" to be paid by SMEC when President Sirisena was a cabinet minister.
It is alleged that the firm's overseas staff bribed officials to secure a $2.3 million aid-funded sewerage project in Sri Lanka in 2011.
It is stated that the emails show a plot to skim the money off a World Bank-funded dam project in 2009. In return, Mr Sirisena was to approve the awarding of the dam contract to SMEC, worth $1.82 million according to 'Fairfax Media'.
SMEC's Sri Lankan manager, who had been recently sacked, wrote in emails to two Australian colleagues that he wanted to "inform the minister/coordinating secretary" of the size of an alleged kickback to be paid and that he needed to "prioritize" certain payments to unnamed parties "since the signing of the contract would depend" on it.
SMEC has confirmed a "request for a political donation", but insists an internal investigation found no donation was made and the firm "continues to fully co-operate with the AFP."
Meanwhile, President Sirisena in a statement has said he had "no knowledge of the incident" and requested further details to "ascertain the involvement of any of his office staff. The president also said he would co-operate "in any investigation" in Australia and "will also instruct the relevant local authorities to investigate".
Earthquake in Italy kills 247
August 25, 2016 by world Leave a Comment
An earthquake that struck central Italy yesterday (24th) has killed at least 247 people states the country's civil protection agency. Dozens are believed trapped in ruined Amatrice, Accumoli and Pescara del Tronto, in mountainous central Italy.
Amid scenes of carnage, dozens of emergency services staff and volunteers were determined to attempt to pluck more survivors from the ruins. The search went on through the night, and there was a strong aftershock which rocked already damaged buildings. More than 4,300 rescuers are using heavy lifting equipment and their bare hands. Rescuers had pledged to work through the night in the hope of finding people alive in the mangled wreckage of homes.
The 6.2 magnitude quake, which sent residents fleeing their homes and running into the streets, is Italy's deadliest since a 2009 quake in the same area. It is now feared that yesterday's quake could claim even more lives than the 2009 one.

Managing chaos: How 9/11 and the pandemic changed the way organisations understand critical events
by John Dunn
Most careers might take an unexpected turn from time to time but very few people see the path of their entire professional existence re-wired, without warning, in a single morning. One who did is Tracy Reinhold, now the chief security officer at critical event management company Everbridge, which has been described as the most successful security company nobody has heard of. The morning was September 11, 2001, probably the first time in world history when a billion human beings alive at the time will be able to say without hesitation what they were doing on a single day. Most of us remember very little but this was an unwanted reminder that there are a few things about...

Beating ransomware – 6 issues to solve before it strikes
Being struck by ransomware has been compared to having a heart attack. It's something that stalks everyone in theory and yet when it happens the shock of the experience is always a surprise. For the first seconds, minutes - and sometimes hours - organisations are on their own. It's a moment of unexpected trauma which many organisations find paralysing, something attackers plan for. This makes the attack's effects even worse. Eventually a growing number call...

La famille Pidoux est une famille noble française éteinte originaire du Poitou. Elle est connue dès le début du  et sa filiation prouvée remonte à 1497, avec Gabriel Pidoux, sieur de la Fouchière, procureur fiscal de la sénéchaussée de Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet (Deux-Sèvres).

Origine

Pidoux (Piz d'oë, Pidoë) : « poitrine d'oie » (sobriquet).

La famille Pidoux est à l'origine une famille de la plus ancienne bourgeoisie du Poitou. Elle aurait été anoblie par la fonction d'échevin de Poitiers.

Selon Oscar de Poli, la filiation suivie de la famille Pidoux, originaire du Bas-Poitou, remonte à N Pidoux, écuyer, sieur de Jennaire († en 1435), marié à Jeanne Guischart, père de Guillaume Pidoux, écuyer, sieur de Jennaire († en 1435), marié à Suzanne Bigot dont le fils Gabriel Pidoux († en 1491), épousa Catherine Michelle, qui veuve figure au ban de la noblesse du Poitou en 1491. Leur fils Pierre Pidoux, sieur de la Fouchière, marié à Gilette Abbaneau fut le père de Gabriel Pidoux, seigneur de la Fouchière, vivant en 1497, procureur fiscal de la sénéchaussée de Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet

Toutefois, la  maintenue de noblesse de 1667 accordée à Henry Pidoux, seigneur de la Maduère, ne remonte pas au-delà de 1497.

Histoire

Selon Raoul de Warren, la famille Pidoux, connue dès le début du , a pour auteur certain Gabriel Pidoux, seigneur de la Fouchière, vivant en 1497, procureur fiscal de la sénéchaussée de Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet (Deux-Sèvres). Il fut l'aïeul de maitre Gabriel Pidoux, sieur de la Fouchière († 1545), qui laissa deux fils de Marie Fradin :

 Gabriel Pidoux († 1545), sieur de la Fouchière et de Pierrefite, marié à Marie Fradin, dont :
 François Pidoux († 1577), sieur de la Maduère, doyen de la faculté de Poitiers et médecin ordinaire du roi Henri II. Marié à Catherine Le Maistre, dont quatre enfants, parmi lesquels :
 Jean Pidoux († 1610) écuyer, sieur de Pierrefite, Teilloux et Chailloux, médecin des roi Henri III, Henri IV et du duc de Nevers, doyen de la faculté de Potiers (1594). C'est à lui que l'on doit l'introduction de l'usage de la douche en médecine et la découverte des eaux de Pougues. Il épousa Françoise Bobé, fille de Simon Bobé, bailli de Coulommiers, d'où cinq enfants.
 Pierre Pidoux, auteur de la branche des seigneurs de Malaguet, qui donna plusieurs maires de Poitiers au  et à laquelle appartenait :
 Claude Pidoux, écuyer, seigneur de Malaguet, maintenu noble en 1667. Sa branche, restée en Poitou et fixée à Poitiers et Châtellerault, s'éteignit au .

Branche de la Brie

La branche ainée se fixa au début du  en Brie, à Coulommiers. À cette branche appartenait la mère du fabuliste Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695). Cette branche s'éteignit au .

Cette branche a pour auteur Jean Pidoux († 1610) et Françoise Bobé, dont :
 Valentin Pidoux ( ? -1653), écuyer, seigneur de la Maduère, licencié en droit, avocat au Parlement de Paris, il devient bailli de Coulommiers, en succédant à son grand-oncle Simon Bobé, demeuré sans descendance après l'assassinat de sa femme et de ses enfants. Marié à Madeleine Falaize dont il eut sept enfants, parmi lesquels :
 Henri Pidoux (1632-1693) acheta la seigneurie de Montanglaust et fit construire le château de Montanglaust entre 1680 et 1690. Marié à Marthe Le Fort, il eut cinq enfants et fut l'auteur de la branche des Pidoux de Montanglaust, qui s'éteignit en 1837 avec Charles Henri Pidoux.
 Françoise Pidoux (1582-1644) (sœur de Valentin Pidoux), mariée en premières noces à honorable homme Louis de Jouy, marchand puis en secondes noces avec Charles de La Fontaine, maitre général des eaux et forêts à Château-Thierry. De cette seconde union nait Jean de La Fontaine le .

Noblesse
 Valentin Pidoux, seigneur de la Maduère, bailli de Coulommiers, fut maintenu noble par arrêt de la Cour des aides du  et par arrêt du Conseil d'État du .
 Henry Pidoux (fils du précédent), écuyer, seigneur de la Maduère, fut maintenu noble par arrêt du Conseil d'État du  sur preuves remontées à 1497.
 Claude Pidoux, écuyer, seigneur de Malaguet, fut maintenu noble par le même arrêt du Conseil d'État du .

En , le secrétaire d'État, commandeur des ordres du roy, maintient cet arrêt de 1667, donnant la « qualité de gentilhomme et la possession de la qualité de noble et d'écuyer, ainsi que la jouissance des privilèges, honneurs et exemptions dont jouissent les gentilshommes aussi longtemps qu'ils vivront noblement et ne feront acte de dérogeance ».

Armes
 D'argent à 3 losanges frettés de sable, 2 et 1
 alias : D'or à 3 losanges frettés de sable

Le blason de la famille Pidoux figure à Secondigny sur une pierre sculptée, à la Mosnerie, et figurait, avant la Révolution française, sur un autel en pierre de l'église Sainte-Eulalie.

Innovative water purification solution: EveryWater, NBP sign agreement
in Banking & Finance, Information Technology
The National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and EveryWater (EW), a Pakistani innovative startup, signed an agreement under which the NBP will provide funding to help this startup founded by a group of young chemical engineers bring its innovative water purification solution to market.
The gathering took place in a hotel. While speaking at the ceremony, NBP president Arif Usmani said that he believes that investing is about more than just profits, and that he wants to make a difference rather than follow in the footsteps of other commercial banks.
Usmani said, "My vision is to invest in projects that can have a positive impact in Pakistan."
EveryWater was founded by Shayan Sohail, Usama Tanweer, and Arslan Ahmed, three young graduates of the University of Engineering and Technology in Lahore, according to Syed Javed, the company's CEO.
EveryWater developed a proprietary polymer technology known as "esoterik resistive membrane," which is also known as intrinsically biofilm resistant membrane.
The EW's ERM was protected by patents in 82 countries around the world. According to him, the EW has created and tested safe and affordable water purification solutions for individuals, households, communities, agriculture, and industry.
The EW products would last for years without the need to upgrade equipment or membranes, allowing for off-grid water purification. The effect of ERM technology on society is becoming more widely recognised. The founders' growing international acclaim is shown by the numerous international awards they have won.
Forbes recently named the EW team to its Forbes 30 under 30 Asia list. For their creative and impactful work, they have also received the Commonwealth Youth Prize, the prestigious YGS Belgium award, and the "Take of Istanbul Award." Following its thematic drive toward impactful investment, the National Bank has formed an equity partnership with the EW.
This ground-breaking and inclusive investment in a startup not only allows the EW to enter the market, but it also sends a clear signal to other startups that the National Bank of Pakistan is open to creative and viable startups entering the market or scaling up.
Syed Javed described the EveryWater journey and how his passion for water led him to Shayan Sohail and his team, who were developing a groundbreaking water filtration technology. He went on to express gratitude to the Hashoo Group and the NBP for their investment in this project.
EveryWater's ultimate aim, according to Javed, is to make desalinated seawater accessible so that everyone has access to safe drinking water. The Hashoo Group's deputy chairman and CEO, Murtaza Hashwani, thanked NBP president Arif Usmani for the investment in EveryWater.
Zohair Ashir gave a brief overview of the Hisaar Foundation, which he created. He told the audience about how he met Javed, a man who expressed his enthusiasm for resolving the water crisis.

If you've been following the news in the gaming industry at all over the past few weeks, you'll have heard something about theongoing demiseof 38 Studios. That story - hopefully - comes to a close today as it was announced that they have filed for bankruptcy.
The tale may not be completely over yet though. Though the Curt Schilling-backed company is now naught but smoldering rubble, the government is stepping in to see if there was anything illegal going on. Apparently, they're on the lookout for any criminal mismanagement of the company's funds given that a huge amount of it came from Rhode Island taxpayers.
The bankruptcy filing will no doubt come as a disappointment to those who were still hoping they might find a way to get Project Copernicus to see daylight. At this point, the most likely hope for that to miraculously happen would be if 38 liquidated its assets and sold off the IP. It's not exactly likely, but dead games can be resurrected. See True Crime: Hong Kong aka Sleeping Dogs for an example.
For now, let's just hope there was nothing shady going on at 38 Studios. It'd be a sad end to this story if all those employees lost theirs jobs due to foul play.

Five steps to developing students' skills for tomorrow's challenges
Skills such as resilience, communication, proactivity and leadership are just some of the areas that are essential when facing the challenges of the 21st century job landscape – but it's not always clear how to teach these. Sustaining young people's effort when facing big challenges and equipping them with the skillsets they'll need to prepare for the unseen future is a significant task. But it doesn't have to be a daunting one! Following this five step guide, I hope to give you the building blocks to support your students on their future career journey.
1. Teach collaboration as a value and skillset
Young people need new skills for the current and future workplace that will make them ready to collaborate with others, not only in their own classroom or workplace but potentially with others across the planet. Encouraging students to work together on a creative challenge, and allowing them to reflect on the learnings they take from the exercise, will help them better understand what it means to be a part of an increasingly collaborative and connected world.
As a bite sized exercise to get students building this way of thinking, you could look at the creativity challenge in Activity One of the LifeSkills Innovation and idea generation lesson.
2. Build on evaluation and analysis
New information is being discovered and shared at an ever-growing rate. Predictions show that 50 percent of the facts students are memorising today will no longer be accurate or complete in the near future. Students need to know not only how to find accurate information, but also how to critically analyse its reliability and usefulness. Building research-based tasks and projects into your teaching will provide a basis to develop this essential 21st century skillset for work. Why not try the LifeSkills Big data lesson for some case studies to get students thinking about the sorts of ways they could put these skills into action.
3. Teach tolerance and resilience
To successfully work in a growing collaborative and global community, employers will be looking for candidates who show an ability and openness to communicate with unfamiliar cultures and ideas. To build these skills, students will need exposure to open discussions and experiences that can help them feel comfortable communicating with others. School trips, debating sessions, visits to a workplace or Q&As with a local employer are all good ways of showing students open mindsets in action. For example, why not ask Founders4Schools to connect your school with a local business leader to give an inspirational talk about their experiences? Your institution may be eligible for free LifeSkills sessions facilitated by one of our charity partners, supported, where possible, by Barclays employees to give real-world examples.
4. Help students learn through their strengths
We are all born with brains that want to learn. We're also born with different strengths, and by growing the strengths we best identify with we can better feed that appetite for learning. One size certainly doesn't fit all when it comes to developing young minds! It can be challenging to tailor the curriculum for each individual, but by looking ahead you can start to pinpoint elements of your classes which will appeal to particular students' strengths and interests. By using "front-loading" techniques to bring these particular topics to the forefront of your teaching, you can start to tap into students' natural curiosity.
5. Use learning beyond the classroom
By using what they learn repeatedly and in different, personally meaningful ways, students will find it much easier to retain and retrieve what they learn in the classroom. It will also help them better understand the importance of certain skills in their everyday and future lives. Try providing opportunities for students to "transfer" school learning to real-life situations – for example, when looking at solving a problem, ask students how they would approach a scenario that could happen to them, and the steps they would go through to solve it. You can make a start with the LifeSkills Problem Solving lesson plan, which sets out an approach to systematically tackle challenges, with real-life scenarios to inspire your students

I got on a journey called Shikoku Pilgrimage (Junrei).
This is a journey around 88 temples in Shikoku Region (Island composed of 4 prefectures) and Koyasan in Wakayama Prefecture, they are related to Buddhist monk Kukai (Kobo Daishi) who existed about 1,200 years ago.
Shikoku Pilgrimage has been done for ascetic exercises and faith since about 500 years ago, but recently there are many tourists and foreigners. The total distance is about 1,300 km, and there are various people who walk, use bicycles, cars and buses.
The pilgrimage is taking place in various countries, and Shikoku Pilgrimage is similar to the pilgrimage of Spain (Camino de Santiago) in Christianity. We visit the Buddhist temples, but there are no restrictions on the qualifications of pilgrims and their purpose, and you can do your own purpose (faith, atonement, confession, ascetic exercises) away from your daily life.
Mercury, mercury sulfide and copper mines were located in Shikoku related to Kukai. Mercury was used for gold plating by the amalgam method on the surface of bronze Buddha statue. Mercury sulfide is a red color and it was a precious substance used for painting shrines and temples. For this reason it is said that Kukai had knowledge of minerals.
Besshi copper mine which was the world's largest output was in Shikoku. Although it is closed now, it became a sightseeing spot called Maintopia Besshi. You can visit mine facilities and experience gold panning. Foil gold and granular silver are included in the sand and it is difficult to separate.
The red dot shows 88 temples, the blue line shows Median Tectonic Line(large fault).
Pilgrims usually have a cape, white coat, cane, but there are no rules on clothes.

Day 1 of the Realblog Week!
Welcome to Realblog Week! The Realblog features crazy, interesting and unique outdoor-related stories and events that often make you question everything you know about wildlife and the outdoors. I typically post the Realblog twice a week, but this week, I'm bringing you the best from the Realblog every day! We'll start off Realblog Week with the most popular Realtree blog post of 2016. This piece is a reminder that your pets aren't always safe, even in your own backyard.
When one of David Dinsmore's two Yorkies went missing from his backyard in Richardson, Texas, he decided to check his security camera for answers. What he saw in the video shocked him. It wasn't a thief who got his dog, Dakota, but a bobcat.
Footage shows a bobcat leaping off his backyard fence and attacking and killing his dog. The bobcat then took the dog's carcass out of the yard. Had it not been for that video footage, Dinsmore would have never known of the bobcat's attack.
Dinsmore is now afraid to let his other dog, Denali, out of the house.
"At this point, I can't take my dog out in my backyard unless I have her on a leash," Dinsmore said. "So, there's no way I can let her out now until we get this problem solved. I'm being held hostage in my own backyard."
Richardson Animal Control has set out some traps and have caught one bobcat.

Wishful Thinking is a research project that will culminate in a show about wishful thinking and luck.
I conducted front end evaluation between March 2 - March 6, 2006 with 150 individuals and families. Respondents' ages ranged from 6 - 87 and were an approximate 50% m/f ratio. The participants came from 7 different countries but were primarily American.
I am amassing a collection of wish technology.
I would like to know: What do you wish on? Dandelions? Wishbones? Twisting apple stems? Falling stars? Four leaf clovers? Have any of these technologies been particularly effective for you?
My goal is to collect as many objects or representations of objects associated with making a wish as possible. And so, in an effort to build up an extensive collection, I wonder if you could tell me what you wish on.
Many of the responses were beautiful, heartwarming and fascinating! I am currently compiling the findings of this preliminary study and putting together a more thorough, formative study of wish technologies based upon these initial findings. If you or your loved ones would like to participate in this study, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will send you a survey. Or you can download it from the link below.
Stay tuned to this page for more information on the project and findings as they develop!

William Carlos Williams Biography
This Biography consists of approximately 4 pages of information about the life of William Carlos Williams.
Dictionary of Literary Biography on William Carlos Williams
William Carlos Williams has been considered one of America's foremost modernists, perhaps the quintessential avant-gardist, one who has had a profound influence on subsequent generations of writers. Throughout his life Williams espoused the creation of a unique American art at the same time that he was keenly interested in avant-garde developments from abroad. Paris in particular was a part of his imagination from an early age. His mother had studied painting there as a young woman, only to be called home to the Caribbean when the family money ran out. Marriage and children in alien New Jersey frustrated her ambition to be a portraitist. In 1897 she took her two sons abroad for a year, part of which time they were schooled in Paris. The 1913 Armory Show in New York introduced Williams to the painters of the French avant-garde, and he actually met a number of them when they...

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Lifespan Partnership Moves Forward With Agreement Signing
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Lifespan leadership have signed a memorandum of understanding to form a partnership that will advance cancer treatment and expand research. The details will be finalized early next year.
"Over the past six months, our staff members have been meeting to learn more about our respective organizations' strengths, and to identify priorities for a partnership that will ensure the best cancer care is available for those in our community," said Timothy Babineau, MD, president and CEO of Lifespan. "We are proud to be building a partnership with one of the leading cancer centers in the United States."
"We are excited about the possibilities offered by working closely with Lifespan," said Edward J. Benz, Jr., MD, president and CEO of Dana-Farber. "Our mission is to help develop new and more effective therapies and to ensure that they reach as many people as possible. That can only be done by partnering with selected, high quality collaborators such as Lifespan."
The partnership will focus on five areas: genomics and precision medicine; clinical trials; value-based care and cancer care delivery innovation; shared care models; and cancer workforce development. As the planning moves forward, the two organizations are already collaborating on a multi-site grant application to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to study the clinical utility of genomics information.
Lifespan's Comprehensive Cancer Center patients will continue to receive excellent cancer care in Rhode Island, but patients with rare and more complex cancers will benefit from seamless referrals and coordination of care at Dana-Farber. "The partnership will allow Lifespan to access the outstanding faculty, research resources, and programs of Dana-Farber to benefit patients in Rhode Island," said Babineau. Aiding in the organizations' partnership is a common cancer-specific electronic health record system, the Epic Beacon platform, that will facilitate coordination of care, and both organizations will be using the same OnCore clinical trials management system.
"This is an exciting opportunity to create a meaningful and impactful partnership," said David E. Wazer, MD, director of the Lifespan Comprehensive Cancer Center. "More can be accomplished when strong organizations work together on joint research projects, the development of innovative new treatments, and ensuring access to the best care for our entire community."

1910.95 App B - Methods for estimating the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation
Part Number Title:
Occupational Safety and Health Standards
Subpart:
1910 Subpart G
Subpart Title:
Occupational Health and Environmental Control
1910.95 App B
Methods for estimating the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation
GPO Source:
e-CFR
This Appendix is Mandatory
For employees who have experienced a significant threshold shift, hearing protector attenuation must be sufficient to reduce employee exposure to a TWA of 85 dB. Employers must select one of the following methods by which to estimate the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation.
The most convenient method is the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). According to EPA regulation, the NRR must be shown on the hearing protector package. The NRR is then related to an individual worker's noise environment in order to assess the adequacy of the attenuation of a given hearing protector. This appendix describes four methods of using the NRR to determine whether a particular hearing protector provides adequate protection within a given exposure environment. Selection among the four procedures is dependent upon the employer's noise measuring instruments.
Instead of using the NRR, employers may evaluate the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation by using one of the three methods developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which are described in the "List of Personal Hearing Protectors and Attenuation Data," HEW Publication No. 76-120, 1975, pages 21-37. These methods are known as NIOSH methods No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The NRR described below is a simplification of NIOSH method No. 2. The most complex method is NIOSH method No. 1, which is probably the most accurate method since it uses the largest amount of spectral information from the individual employee's noise environment. As in the case of the NRR method described below, if one of the NIOSH methods is used, the selected method must be applied to an individual's noise environment to assess the adequacy of the attenuation. Employers should be careful to take a sufficient number of measurements in order to achieve a representative sample for each time segment.
NOTE: The employer must remember that calculated attenuation values reflect realistic values only to the extent that the protectors are properly fitted and worn.
When using the NRR to assess hearing protector adequacy, one of the following methods must be used:
(i) When using a dosimeter that is capable of C-weighted measurements:
(A) Obtain the employee's C-weighted dose for the entire workshift, and convert to TWA (see appendix A, II).
(B) Subtract the NRR from the C-weighted TWA to obtain the estimated A-weighted TWA under the ear protector.
(ii) When using a dosimeter that is not capable of C-weighted measurements, the following method may be used:
(A) Convert the A-weighted dose to TWA (see appendix A).
(B) Subtract 7 dB from the NRR.
(C) Subtract the remainder from the A-weighted TWA to obtain the estimated A-weighted TWA under the ear protector.
(iii) When using a sound level meter set to the A-weighting network:
(A) Obtain the employee's A-weighted TWA.
(B) Subtract 7 dB from the NRR, and subtract the remainder from the A-weighted TWA to obtain the estimated A-weighted TWA under the ear protector.
(iv) When using a sound level meter set on the C-weighting network:
(A) Obtain a representative sample of the C-weighted sound levels in the employee's environment.
(B) Subtract the NRR from the C-weighted average sound level to obtain the estimated A-weighted TWA under the ear protector.
(v) When using area monitoring procedures and a sound level meter set to the A-weighing network.
(A) Obtain a representative sound level for the area in question.
(B) Subtract 7 dB from the NRR and subtract the remainder from the A-weighted sound level for that area.
(vi) When using area monitoring procedures and a sound level meter set to the C-weighting network:
(B) Subtract the NRR from the C-weighted sound level for that area.

Q: How do i reduce padding on codename one charts How do i close the padding between chart title and the chart. See image attached

A: I would suggest placing the chart into a BoxLayout.Y_AXIS instead of what I assume is the center of a BorderLayout. The center of the BorderLayout stretches to take up available space and the chart aligns to the center. The box layout will give the chart the full width and its preferred height.

Word Search by POWGI (Wii U eShop, 3DS eShop) Review
Word searches were always fun for me growing up. I'd buy big books with a plethora of them inside. While I don't delve into word searches much nowadays to kill time, I jumped at the chance to review Lightwood Games' Word Search by POWGI for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops. Here are my quick thoughts on the title, as you can only go so far in-depth with a collection of word searches!
Seeking a capable word search package? You've found it.
It's difficult to make word search games sound any more special than they are. With Word Search by POWGI, you can pretty much guess what you'll be receiving just by the name-- word searches. How do you make that sound any more exciting than that? Well, you really can't, so if you're not a fan of word searches, there's nothing for you here. However, if you enjoy searching for themed words horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and in reverse in a sea of letters, then you will most likely very much like Word Search by POWGI.
That said, there's plenty of word search puzzles to be found within this collection by Lightwood Games. There's over 300 unique puzzles sprinkled within 27 unique categories (e.g. terms regarding sports, baking, fruits, vegetables, world destinations, and so forth) containing an abundance of words to seek out in each. When all of the words have been found in a given puzzle, you've successfully completed it. It doesn't get any simpler than that. Well, unless all you had to find was one of the 20+ words in a given puzzle, but that's just splitting hairs.
There's plenty of categories to choose from with
twelve puzzles each inside of them.
Word Search by POWGI provides an easy to use interface that works well, albeit nothing that will really wow players. You see, there's not much in the way of interesting visuals or different themed appearances to be found in this collection of word searches. It's a shame, but for the lack of visual variety, there are plenty of puzzles to play, as stated. All that is required of the player to find words is to press the stylus on the first letter of the word, and then draw a line to the final letter of the word, thus successfully seeking a word. Again, it's simple to use and it works well. Perhaps the only niggling presentation problem within Word Search by POWGI is that there is but one song that plays regardless of which menu or spot you are at in the game. Definitely queue up some of your own music ahead of time before playing this game.
Play with up to four other friends or family members.
The differences between the Wii U and 3DS versions of Word Search by POWGI are small, but they are worthy of mention. For one, confusingly enough, the more pick-up-and-play version of the game, the 3DS version, lacks a Quick Play option, which the Wii U game possesses. One would think it would at least be the opposite, with the 3DS version having a more pick-up-and-play approach option to it. Additionally, while the 3DS version is meant for solo players to enjoy, the Wii U game has a multiplayer feature. Up to four others in the room can use Wii Remotes to join in on the seeking and searching fun, helping out the GamePad player on any puzzle within the game.
For a game that is purely devised up of word searches, Word Search by POWGI does its job and does it well. There are no special bells and whistles to be found in the package, but the package itself has plenty to gorge on for word search/seek and find enthusiasts. Lightwood Games offers a lovely word search game that might not impress with its presentation, but it does impress with the amount of puzzles the game possesses.

Who is Dennis Roldan?
By: Aries Joseph Hegina - @inquirerdotnet
INQUIRER.net / 02:26 PM August 26, 2014
Former congressman and actor Dennis Roldan. INQUIRER FILE PHOTO
MANILA, Philippines—Former congressman and actor Dennis Roldan was found guilty by the Pasig Regional Court for the kidnapping of then three-year-old Chinese Kenshi Yu in 2005. The actor was sentenced to life imprisonment at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City.
Here are the things that you need to know about the kidnapping case.
1. Dennis Roldan is the father of a teen actor and volleyball player.
Dennis Roldan, whose real name is Mitchel Gumabao, is brother to actress Isabel Rivas and father to teen actor Marco Gumabao and former De La Salle University Lady Spiker Michele Gumabao.
On Tuesday morning, his children took to Twitter to express their support for their embattled father.
2. Roldan is a former professional basketball player, one-term congressman and actor.
Roldan played for a short time for Ginebra and Gilbey's Gin Tonic in 1983. After his basketball stint, he became a one-term congressman for the third district of Quezon City in 1992.
He has been a movie and TV actor since the 1980s. He appeared in films such as Kambal sa Uma, Hot Property, and 10,000 Hours. Roldan currently plays the role of Mateo Andrada in the GMA primetime drama show "My Destiny".
3. Roldan was arrested in 2005 for kidnapping then three-year-old Kenshi Yu and was detained for a year.
On February 9, 2005, then three-year-old Kenshi Yu and his nanny were on their way to school when Yu was grabbed by several men in Pasig City. Yu was rescued 11 days later by forces of Police Anti-Crime Emergency Response Group (PACER) in a safe house in Cubao, Quezon City. On February 21, 2005, Roldan, along with six of his cohorts, was arrested.
According to written testimonies of their cohorts, Roldan and Suzette Wang, his girlfriend at that time, masterminded the kidnapping of the kid and demanded P200 million for the kid's release.
Wang was a friend of the kidnap victim's mother.
4. Roldan was able to post bail for his release in July 2006 for kidnapping which is a non-bailable offense.
Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 261 Judge Agnes Reyes-Carpio in July 2006 allowed Roldan to post bail for P500,000. Carpio said that the evidence against Roldan was insufficient to prove his guilt.
Carpio later inhibited herself from the case.
Roldan was free since then.
Wang, however, remains at large and the police offered P300,000 for her capture.
In 2008, then six-year-old Yu positively identified Roldan as his captor.
5. While in jail, Roldan became a devout Christian and later served as a pastor.
Roldan, who was detained for a year, said that he was introduced to God's words inside jail and decided to become a pastor for Jesus Christ the Life Giver Ministry International.
He then became a pastor for four months to Sarangani representative and boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and his wife Jinkee.
He also pledged to share the word of God to celebrities and politicians.

9 Indian-origin people missing after New Zealand shootings that killed 49
March 16, 2019 Desk Editor
At least 9 people of Indian nationality or Indian origin have been listed as missing after Friday's Christchurch shootings at two New Zealand mosques, Indian envoy to New Zealand Sanjiv Kohli tweeted, citing updates received from multiple sources. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has condemned the shooting, described as the country's worst ever mass shooting, as a terrorist attack.
A gunman stormed into two mosques and opened fire killing 49 people and leaving 20 others injured during Friday prayers in the country's worst mass shooting every. The attacker live-streamed footage of him going room-to-room, victim to victim, shooting the wounded from close range as they struggled to crawl away. Identified as an Australian extremist, the gunman had also published a "manifesto", in which he referred to immigrants as "invaders".
New Zealand was placed on high security alert immediately and four people have been taken into custody, with one of them being charged with murder.
As reports of some people of Indian nationality and origin emerged, New Delhi said the Indian mission was in touch with local authorities to find out more details. "It is a sensitive matter and therefore we can't give confirmed numbers/names till we are absolutely certain," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
Back home in Hyderabad, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi identified one of the missing people of Indian origin as Ahmed Jahangir. Owaisi put out two tweets in which he tagged external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj saying that a video from Christchurch "shows one Ahmed Jehangir who was shot".
New Zealand police described the footage shot by the gunman as "extremely distressing" and warned web users that they could be liable for up to 10 years in jail for sharing such "objectionable content".
The attack has shocked New Zealanders, who are used to seeing around 50 murders a year in the entire country of 4.8 million and pride themselves on living in a secure and welcoming place.
US President Donald Trump condemned the "horrible massacre" in what the White House called a "vicious act of hate". "The US stands by New Zealand for anything we can do," Trump wrote in a post on Twitter. The gunman's manifesto praised Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose".
The Bangladesh cricket team narrowly avoided being caught up in the shooting while on a bus approaching one of the mosques while in Christchurch for a Test match, which has since been cancelled

Michael Mayfield's Court Appearance Moved to After Election
A top Kingston, Tenn., police official denied giving "special treatment" to Michael Mayfield after admitting he changed Mayfield's initial court date from May to Aug. 27 — three weeks after an election that Mayfield's father must win to reach Congress.
More from Chris Carroll:
"There's no special treatment at all," Kingston Assistant Police Chief Gary Nelson said. "It had nothing to do with the election coming up. It was totally my choice to pick that date."
The court date for Mayfield is scheduled 25 days after the Aug. 2 Republican primary election in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District. That's a crucial test for the political future of his father, Scottie Mayfield, who's running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann.
On April 26, Michael Mayfield, 33, was charged with vandalism under $500 after he confessed to slashing a Fleischmann aide's tire. The incident took place April 24 at a campaign event for his father at the Roane County Courthouse. In a public apology, Scottie Mayfield said he asked authorities to treat his son "like anyone else."
A Chattanooga Times Free Press review of the 70 initial appearances in Roane County General Sessions Court for people arrested or cited between April 23-30 shows that the court date for the younger Mayfield is the last one. Two other dates are set for August, but the remaining 67 — some of which were assigned after Mayfield was charged — are scheduled for April, May, June and July.

TV Station Reports on Paul Stanley
SAVANNAH, Tenn. (AP) — A former state senator from Tennessee says the scandal that drove him from office and cost him his marriage is a fall he must live with, but he has moved on.
Paul Stanley's affair with a legislative intern and a subsequent extortion attempt erupted in the summer of 2009.
The former conservative Republican lawmaker from the Memphis suburb of Germantown told WMC-TV he isn't a person who went after interns, but conceded he knew he was going to have an affair with 22-year-old McKensie Morrison as soon as he saw her (http://bit.ly/vDMOvb).
Stanley now lives in Franklin and is the political editor of an online publication, The Christian Post.
Stanley has also written a book, "The Extortion of Forgiveness," which is set for release next year.
Note: He's also got a blog, link HERE.

Home News Meyer Sound brings spatial technology to Moogfest
Meyer Sound brings spatial technology to Moogfest
USA: Meyer Sound returned to Durham, North Carolina from April 25 – 28 for its second year as the Official Sound Partner of Moogfest, the festival that brings together the most visionary and creative minds in music, art, and technology. This year's expanded presence included providing multichannel systems for concerts, workshops, and technology demos across the festival's performance spaces, including the Durham Armory, the 21c Museum Hotel, and Fletcher Hall at The Carolina Theatre, as well as two installations at the Durham Fruit and Produce Company.
Many of the events in these venues showcased Meyer Sound's Spacemap, which provides spatial mixing for any loudspeaker configuration. New user interfaces were developed for Moogfest to provide simple, realtime, spatial audio control.
The Moogfest partnership provided an opportunity to demonstrate a new world of creative possibilities for live performances. "Moogfest's spirit of innovation in music technology aligns closely with our efforts to bring spatial sound to live music production," said Steve Ellison, Meyer Sound's Director of Spatial Sound.
At the Armory, Ellison partnered daily with guest artists to demonstrate ways Spacemap can be used in real time. "We created sets that gave us a chance to, in a sense, create spatial duets," explained Ellison, who improvised mixes that showed how spatial audio control could have the expressiveness of an instrument.
Composer and synthesizer pioneer Patrick Gleeson presented spatial mixes of new, largely improvised work in one of these sets. "When we're in real life, all sound is spatial. It changes as you move and it's changing constantly," said Gleeson, adding that spatial sound is "going to change the way I write music. If I know I'm writing for 360 degrees, it's a little bit different. There are more possibilities."
Composer Jim Lang presented spatial mixes of various works, including selections from his and Gleeson's project :Jazz Criminal:, as well as a live improvisation. "Meyer gave me an opportunity to experience music that I'd made over the past 10 years in a completely different way," said Lang, who is perhaps best known for his work scoring the Nickelodeon series and movie Hey, Arnold! "As a film composer, I get to work in 5.1, but a lot of the time I'm not getting to use the surround sound as a musical element, as a compositional element."
"I really hope that spatial sound can be a part of any live performance that I do from here on in," Lang continued. "That seems like a grand thing to say but really, once you've experienced it, it's hard to think about just doing stereo anymore."
Meyer Sound systems supported three nights of performances at The Armory, The Fruit, 21c Museum Hotel, and the Carolina Theatre, powering the musical expressions of artists including Matthew Dear, Max Cooper, Kimbra, Craig Leon, Mount Kimbie, Jlin, A Place to Bury Strangers, Richard Devine, and Juan Atkins, plus an extended DJ set by Questlove. The systems incorporated both D-Mitri and Galileo Galaxy signal processing and a wide range of Meyer Sound loudspeakers, including the recently introduced USW-210P compact narrow subwoofers at each surround position as part of the six channel system in the 21c installation, as well as 12 UPQ-D3 ultra-wide coverage loudspeakers in surround positions at the Armory as part of the venue's 14.4 configuration.
Performances celebrated spatial sound's potential to energize live audiences and make them feel closer to the audio experience and artists. "There are so many things about 3D sound and spatial audio that are really important, but the main one, I think, is for people to really feel the music in a different way," said electronic artist Sofia Hultquist, a.k.a. Drum & Lace, who performed a spatially enhanced set at 21c. "It just adds a whole new dimension; I think that it's going to do nothing but elevate and expand on my music, and on music in general."
Collaborating with artists on-the-fly often led to profound "aha!" moments, according to Ellison. "In the Max Cooper concert, there were times when we moved the entire mix out to the surrounds and brought the energy out and around the audience, and then when the beat kicked back in, moved the mix back to the arrays to draw focus back to the artist. As the energy increased, we could slice out part of the sound and pulse it out to the room in time with the music. We could sense the excitement from the audience from this evolution of the mix."
In addition, at the Carolina Theatre, Steve Ellison moderated a "Making Music Spatial" panel with composer and media innovator Naut Humon, composer / sound designer Martin Carrillo, DJ / producer Felipe Valencia, and Virginia Tech Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology (ICAT) media engineer Tanner Upthegrove.
Ellison says the best part of partnering with Moogfest is being able to collaborate with artists and mixers to push the envelope of live mixing and, sometimes, incorporate updates overnight. "It's like a lab venue for artists to explore their craft in a new way and for us to look at technology that has been supporting systems and shows throughout the world for years in a new way," he said.
Moogfest's CEO Gillian Ryan reflected on the partnership between the festival and Meyer Sound that has created new opportunities for both artists and attendees. "Moogfest is the culmination of technology, future thought, and music. Meyer Sound, our official sound partner of 2019, synthesized these ideals through their high-end audio systems throughout the festival. This did not go unnoticed to our audiophile crowd," said Ryan. "The spatialised Meyer Sound systems in the Armory, 21c, and Fruit Black Box provided incredible, interactive experiences that enlightened the artists that performed and the fans alike. Meyer Sound understands the importance of quality in the live experience, and I look forward to continuing our partnership into Moogfest 2020."
Moogfest celebrates synthesizer pioneer Dr. Robert Moog and the influence his inventions have had on the way we hear the world. The festival, now in its 15th year, explores the intersection of art and technology through musical performances, visual art exhibitions, interactive experiences, discussions, and film screenings.

Who we are? We are a songwriting school about showing people how to make a difference with their songwriting. But we are more than this. We are award winning songwriters, we are award winning producers and we are a music publishing business, but most of all we have the knowledge we want to impart to you. Have you been writing songs for many years without success, or just lyrics, composing or writing poetry, singing your own songs in clubs, trying to sell CDs, entering songwriting contests, perhaps winning a couple and coming to realize that it is only for fun because you will never be satisfied or even make a living or at least a real income from your music?
How do you start the songwriting process may determine your success potential. What's your song title? If it supports a Grammy sounding idea/song, that maybe will decide whether an A&R will want to listen to your song or not. Copying from existing hit titles, even more so because titles aren't copyright protected won't get your song heard, since it's proof you're not being creative enough. So how do you create unique titles?
We are here to show you how to make a difference taking your songwriting to the next level.
Even if you are new to songwriting, we can make a great songwriter out of you if you are ready to follow the principles we will show you. (see FAQ page also)
We offer a unique course (and other workshops and services) based on a songwriting method used by most successful hit songwriters. Songwriters who also sing their songs tend to write differently to those songwriters who do not write for themselves but for artists signed by record labels. Those who write for signed artists learn to understand what record labels expect them to write and give them just that. Only those who follow the label's 'formula', word that scares most singer-songwriters, are the ones achieving success. The singer-songwriters who can also write to the formula are amongst the ones to be the most successful and a huge chance of getting signed by a record label. John Mayer is one of them.
There is a common belief that if a song is satisfactory enough to the writer, it should not receive critique from others. The music market is a competitive one and therefore this view stops songwriters from receiving proper feedback and improving. Songwriters who want their songs used by record companies or film makers to generate an income should learn about the issues affecting songs and what formula is used when they are assessed by professionals. Professional critiques is what has made many songs hits.
We give you the proper knowledge needed to venture with confidence within the music industry as a songwriter. We are confident that those who follow what they've learned from us will be capable of becoming prolific songwriters producing quality songs and have a greater chance of success.
It is unfortunate the level of ignorance that exists among musicians, singers and songwriters in general in Australia about the music industry. There are simple things that are not taught in this country as they are in the U.S.A. Songwriting is not thought of as a business because the topic is presented to developing songwriters as a hobby rather than a business. Most songwriters make their income from a day job. Therefore talents remain hidden, undeveloped or unrecognized and writers are reluctant to allow their songs heard or given exposure, thinking someone else might steal their work while others believe that if another artist sings their song, it is not theirs anymore; others believe that a song can be bought or sold like a tangible product, and I have even heard of people giving away their songs for a fee, not understanding that they should only license the use of their songs. Let one of those songs become a mega hit and a lawsuit saga will start. Most songwriters in Australia, unless under a record label where they would receive proper guidance, have no idea how their songs can be protected. They believe in the old fairytales of sending a tape in registered mail to themselves and never opening the mail or they believe that just because their songs are registered with their Performing Right Society such as APRA (AUSTRALIA) or ASCAP (USA), their copyrights are protected.

I couldn't miss the castle this time around! Three years ago during my first trip to the USA, we arrived at the castle too late - the camera we brought (then, just a simple normal film camera) could not capture the castle in the darkness. Boo!
Not this time though. And we met Mickey too. Awesome.
Did you know it was Sleeping Beauty's castle? I didn't. But growing up to watching Walt Disney Cartoons and Movies gave walking inside that castle so, well, cool. Haha.
Visiting castle ruins in Deutschland
"Münzenberg Castle in the Wetterau near Frankfurt am Main is one of the most important German castles from the time of the Staufer dynasty (12th century)." ref.
We were ready, our borrowed bicycles creaking with excitement. We were going to a castle. A REAL LIVE ONE. lol. It's not live but you get the point right?
With a few bottles of water and some snacks, we were off. We needed to go beyond a supermarket near the big road, off to the other side where the sign by the road says "Münzenberg Castle" in big letters.
There's a path there, and we needed to be careful not to miss it- a concrete path that cris-crosses through a huge field of grass and small trees. From there you can already see it - the castle - above the hill, it's towers still standing after centuries, majestic over the houses with same colored roofs.
The final landmark was the train tracks, a sight familiar to our Asian eyes. We got off our bikes and took photos.
And then there it was, the huge entrance to the castle.
A small token for a fee, a small garden patch on the side, and then up the ramp into the courtyard. It was it ruins, a castle of old, but our eyes lit up at the sight of broken stone walls and gates and windows. We were inside a real castle. Gasp!
We climbed the several flights of winding stairs to the top of the towers and felt the cool wind on our cheeks; we walked along the terraces and waved at our invisible royal subjects; we were all of a sudden 10 year olds pretending we were knights or prisoners. We imagined Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses in all their royal-ness parading across the grounds, playing cricket in the garden....
Suddenly all those fairy tales seemed like they could come true.
See more photos of the Münzenberg Castle here.
Special Thanks to @eyevasco, @ditesco, @christianBON and @Zorlone for the Espagnol translation for the title. It being in Spanish has no relevance at all to my post - I just wanted it to say "El Rey" which means "The King" so that I could change it to "Rey-jr". lol.

General Hospital Rising Ryan: Is the Fiend Still Alive?
Rising Ryan: Is the Fiend Still Alive on General Hospital?
Most recently, they've been unable to pin an assortment of crimes on Sonny (Maurice Benard), Jason (Steve Burton), Ava (Maura West), and Julian (William deVry).
Uh, that would be a no, a landslide 98% of you voted. It's a soap. Nobody dies. Morgan (Bryan Craig) isn't dead, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) isn't dead, Duke (Ian Buchanan) isn't dead, and neither is Faison (Aders Hove).
So, why in the world would you think Ryan was dead, especially since Kevin, Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Laura (Genie Francis), and Ava (Maura West) are still around for him to torture.
In fact, you expect the hand to just be an advance army. It can wander around town — Thing-style — taunting future victims until Ryan feels like returning to Port Charles.
Only 2% believe the whole, you can live without a hand scenario. It…uhm…probably got ripped off when Ryan fell down the falls. That happens, right?
